Totally Off Topic - I love sparrows. They are so tiny and yet there is a life in them. I just love them. That said, I don't know why, but I keep finding dead baby birds. I found one a couple of weeks ago and wrapped him up so something wouldn't eat him. Today, I found two that were barely out of their shells. They had no feathers. First I saw one, and then the second which, unfortunately, someone stepped on. On the other side of the complex I saw one of the residents who was very busy planting flowers. I walked over and complimented him and then I told him about the baby birds and asked if he would mind burying them. I told him I just didn't want to put their tiny bodies in the trash. He kindly agreed and dug a hole. Then he asked me if I would like to say a prayer! So I did. And that was that. I felt that all was well with the cycle of their tiny little lives.

OK. I'm weird. I think I'll go make a Lean Pocket for dinner since hubby is working overtime again. Over and out.

Bilben, that is one of the most creative RWB flags I've ever seen! Lucky Debbyg. I like Canada's flag, too! Happy Canada Day or whatever it's called. I love stars and have never seen so many different fabrics with stars on it that I DON'T have, lol! Just so much originality on this board -- that's what makes it fun. I just got back from a big quilt show in Indiana and it was combined with a Hudson Car show. Did you know they made cars in the most glorious colors? Said if you wanted a black car, buy a Ford! LOL! We're going to TX on Wednesday so talk to ya'll when I get back unless I can sneak on at my DSIL's house on her computer.

Well Ms Bertie you sure are galavanting about! Drive safe, have a great 4th!

The expert's mind has no room to learn while the beginner's mind is free to know everything....

I agree with you Krystna and WandaLou _ I always say a little prayer for a dead animal as well. In the spring, it seems I see more dead animals on the roads - they always lose to the cars. I try not to get too upset, but it doesn't always work. Don't ever be upset with yourself if you have a tender heart.
